Not too many flowers blooming around the neighborhood right now, so I’m posting an image for our Southern hemisphere friends: cherry blossoms from the opposite season, from a tree close to my old house in Des Moines, WA.

This photo of cherry trees in bloom in the hazy sunshine is from a couple of weeks ago. Spring is moving fast here, with the big pink and white trees and the yellow forsythia now mostly giving way to the spring bulbs beginning. I wanted to show you this amazing street in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle before it was too long past.

Usually it’s quite gray around here (I know I repeat myself) so when we have sunny skies it’s an event. This week we had a couple of days of glorious weather, so here’s a look at a sky from Wednesday for you. For more fascinating skies around the world, click HERE.
